A sure-fire conversation piece
whenever parents get together
concerns "the difficult age" for
children. Pound for pound, I'd
say it's one of the world's ten
most controversial subjects.
A sage of my acquaintance
once remarked that the most
difficult age for children is
firmly hold on the matter is that
the first two or three years of a
child's life are the crucial ones.
It was the view, you may
remember, of the good Dr.
Benjamin Spock whose famous
book on child care added up to
simply this: give 'em plenty
lovin' in those tender years and
everything will turn out right.
(Dr. Spook, by the way, has a
new book on the market giving
his advice on adults, instead of
children, and it is equally sane.)
If I were asked to select the
most interesting age of children
- and I'm so glad you asked -
I'd say it was between six and
eight years.
This is a time of great. change
physically when visiting Uncles

"Daddy, what is there behind
the sky?" In this span from .
six-to-eight they can be more

Spring needs some zing
with that 'Board.
• The Trustees' Council of the
province has retaliated by bar-
ing its claws and exposing its
yellow fangs. It has pink-listed
all the school boards in the
province. The result should be
a' barrack-room lawyer's de-
light, and an educational
schmozzle.
At least (though I doubt it)
this might put an end to the
annual cattle sale, a demeaning
aspect of a fairly fine profes-
sion where teachers are lured
with booze, bigger salaries and
other benefits, into teaching at
Great Slave Lake secondary
school. And at which school
boards become panders.
Along this line, don't get too
excited by the government's
expressed determination to
"hold the line" and "take a
firm stand" against inflation.
The government is merely
trying to trim a little fat off
the cat, trying to conceal the
fact that she is pregnant and
nobody wants the kittens.

ue to be poor. And the middle-

outside the British influence of their past
and the American domination of the
present.
The final proof of the "miracle of '67"
can be seen today in the very definite new
nationalist movement gathering 'strength
in Canada,
For a time, after all, the hoopla of the
centennial subsided, it appeared as if the
attempt to nationalize Canadians had
failed. The old apathy and
self-depreciation set in again,
Then the exciting rise to power of
Pierre Trudeau started things back on the
track.
Now, from several sources, the success
of those who pointed Canada towards
Nationalism, is evident. The rising alarm
over the possible loss of sovereignty in the
Arctic, our last frontier, has forced the
government into strong pronouncements
on the extent of our control over the
Arctic islands and the waters between
them.
There has been a gathering protest
against the amount of foreign control over

most publicized episode was the case of a

by some snowmobilers until it dropped

There have been new regulations
governing Canadian content in
broadcasting.
There are othdr subtle, but perhaps
more accurate indicatOrs. Speaking to
members of the Canadian Press recently,
Jack McClelland of the publishing firm of
McClelland and Stewart, said that the
nationalist trend was evidenced in his
industry by the demand for Canadian
books, He warned the government, that if
they didn't heed the trend and continue
to let the Canadian economy slip into
foreign hands, they would not remain in
power long. .
Canada needs nationalism as perhaps no
country in recent history has needed it.
We need it for our existence. But let's
make sure that our nationalism is of L
constructive type which will allow us to
improve our country and help the world.
Let's not fall prey to the evils of
nationalism that have led great powers
such as Britain, Germany, Russia and the
United States into war and internal strife,
Instead, let's make Canada the best
country in the world and try to help
others in the world reach the same level.
